Could you please try to create a clonezilla image?
The only missing point is to expand the 16gb exfat partition.

I have formated the exiting exFAT partition into fat32 with gparted. Resize to 32GB with using the free space at the end. And with Windows formated back to exFAT. Copy back the files.
WORKS!
Upgrades with MB Download Manger (2.0.30) works also.

Did it work? Really? How did you do that? I have a CLS 320 year 2008 with GPS (SD Card) and I'd like to update it. Can you help me please?
Thanks a lot.

Your car does not use Garmin Map Pilot , therefore you can not use the upload.
If the maps are available on SD card the it's very likely the they can be duplicated the same way.
So you would need to get hold of a dumped SD card + CID. But this thread is for the MB Cars using Garmin Map Pilot

NTG5E e.g. for the new A-Class -> this is the dump that Adamek uploaded

the card uses a fat32 file system. Volume Label is NO LABEL

NTG5Star1 new C-Class (BR 205) and V-Class

Uses a exfat file system
has a non standard volume label (see Post #324 for details).

1) I used Adamec dump. But in GarminDevice.xml I found that it is NTG5Star1 Model.

The process takes a couple of hours and will replace all maps with the new ones and also create new unlock files.

DO NOT PUT A CARD UPDATED WITH THIS METHOD IN YOUR CAR!

Uetzwurschd and I stumlbled across an issue where the card and NOT OTHER CARD will be accepted any more.
The unit needs to be reset by the dealer and you need a new card.

So I strongly advice everybody not to try this. Of course you can update the software itself but NOT THE MAPS.

2) I tried Adamec version also in MB Download Manager and it offered me some 450 MB of updates. How do you think will it work after this update? The device showed that I have 2016 (V6) maps.

3) I notice an interesting thing. While using a different SD adapter (the black one, from Transend SD) instead of Samsung original one (white one) the device showed the message that the maps are blocked. But putting back the Samsung adapter everything works fine.

Good catch!
I mixed it up in my post and will correct it.

It should read:

NTG5Star1 e.g. for the new A-Class -> this is the dump that Adamek uploaded
NTG5E new C-Class (BR 205) and V-Class

This is likely only a software update which should work without problems.
BTW, map Version 6.0 is NOT yet availabe for the C-Class Version only for the new A-Class.

My warning was specific to people that have and original C/V-Class 16GB card, cloned it to a 32GB EVO+ card and are trying to update the Maps (which MB DL Manager will offer!).

Faulty Adapter maybe? The problem we had with the update 16GB Cards was that even the original card was not accepted any-more.

i have a C-Class (W205) NTG5E bought in 2015 with 2014 maps (16GB sd card).

I never updated the navigation sistem ou maps, since i start reading this thread i tought.

It's possible to flash a dump of an non activated sd card to the original and in use SD card, if possible with the same map version installed? I think with this we change the date of activation, and problaby can get an update for free, with original card and without violation of garanty keep the original and genuine mercedes sd card in the car without no changes.

i got a problem. i ve a NTG5Star1 married SD Card from my old car. I tried to use them in my new car...it didnt work. i think i need a dump from a virgin card and have to copie the files. Can anybody send me the files or link for a virgin card.

If you need the CID from my card please tell me...but you have to tell me how...i tried ubuntu linux and i failed :D i use normally osx and windows. i am a linux newbie
